In Boa Vista's Western Zone, three men, all 30 years old, were apprehended for allegedly trafficking drugs through a delivery system targeting neighborhoods like Pintolândia, Alvorada, and Doutor Sílvio Botelho. Their arrests occurred on Monday, and on Wednesday, the judiciary converted their apprehensions into preventative detention amid evidence indicating organized criminal activity. The Civil Police reported that the suspects operated collectively, with one acting as a delivery individual and others available to fulfill orders when necessary.

Law enforcement caught one suspect delivering skunk, a potent cannabis strain, using a motorcycle in Pintolândia. Upon being stopped, he admitted to the crime and referred officers to a residence in Doutor Sílvio Botelho where a further drug stash along with a precision scale was discovered. This corroborated suspicions of a well-established drug distribution network operating within the community, exploiting the growing demand for drugs in the region.

Following the lead from the first arrest, police successfully located the other two suspects in the neighboring neighborhoods of Pintolândia and Alvorada, with one of them confessing to having played a role in facilitating the drug sales. This investigation highlights the ongoing challenges Brazilian authorities face in combating drug trafficking and the continued prevalence of such delivery services, which complicate law enforcement efforts and pose risks to local communities.
